Excellence in Facilities Management: Five Federal Case Studies
A study of five remarkable buildings performed by the National Institute of Building Sciences' Facility Maintenance & Operations Committee to find out what constitutes "better" buildings. Case Studies reveal how planning, designing, constructing and operating buildings with an emphasis on what they will cost over their entire life cycle, including costs for energy, cleaning, maintenance and repair, results in not only less expensive buildings, but better buildings.
